She stole a quarter Golden Book
as a 7 year old..
and was so ashamed to
confess it
that she made 6 bad confessions
.. she was told she
would go to hell
.. and for 180 nights
she felt the terror
of the presumed damned..
and another time
a priest berated
her in the confessional
she has never been back..
she prefers her confessor
to be GOD
not an intermediary
it is a terrible
thing to frighten
children
